As the golden hour approached, casting its ethereal glow on Okaloosa Island, C and F stepped onto the sandy shores hand in hand. With the ocean breeze tousling their hair and the waves whispering sweet melodies, they were enveloped in an atmosphere that seemed to exist only for them.

Imagine a date night with your person that includes a vintage car, a sunset view from Malibu cliffs, and beautiful florals! That is what C + S did on a Wednesday night in February. It is nice and sometimes necessary to take a break in the chaos of life and work to reconnect and breathe. After finding the perfect pull off, with views facing the west, we hoped out of the car to experience the quite up there. My favorite part of this evening was that after the sun had set and blue hour was upon us, we turned on the headlights for C + S to dance to their favorite song as the last of the light left us.

My last session of the year and it was the perfect way to close out 2022!! I met V through a another couple who I worked with earlier this year when I photographed her and her husband (and their pup!!).

As usual for Florida, we had to keep an eye on the weather throughout the day due to expected rain showers and thunderstorms, but as the % dropped we decided to push through and boy oh boy am I glad we did! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening with a stunning sunset. It may have been a little windy, but I love the movement it brought to the photos!

My very first session of 2022 was with these two on January 3 on the beach.

Let me tell you the Florida panhandle is not as warm as some my think in the early months of the year. It was cold and windy, but these two braved it! B + N met at N’s work a few years back and the rest is history. We bonded over our love of sushi and trying new food. It was such a fun time exploring and hanging out on the beach when no one else was out there!
